Here is a new year read for pigeon lovers! 🕊️🧬

I've written a little piece @theconversation.com about our work in Scotland studying wild Rock Doves: theconversation.com/what-ive-lea...
What I’ve learned from studying the wild pigeon
The wild rock dove is little understood and largely overlooked by scientists.

So many things are bad right now, but I interviewed @maggietokudahall.bsky.social about painting pigeons and small acts of survival. 📸 by @estefancy.bsky.social

I wanted to make vegan chilli for dinner tonight.

Matt then said one of our friends is popping round tomorrow to help with some DIY, so could I make extra for him.

I may have over estimated…
We’re gonna need a bigger pot 😂

Our friend is going through absolute hell with his cancer treatment, fevers, and pain.

He was admitted to Royal Marsden yesterday - not sure how long he’ll be there.

He’s been eloquently vocal about his / family’s struggles.

Was reading last night - these hit.

Matt’s sister, recently lost her cat in a traumatic way.

The family LOVED her sooo much.

She has asked me to paint her.

I’m practicing on other cats…

I DON’T do commissions - other for family / friends.

Our friend is not doing well.

We had a call before going out to see friends.

Matt and I, had an emotional conversation.

It was difficult “being happy” with them. But it was a good night.

Our friend will have his first chemo session today - Christmas Eve.

Not what his wife and daughter would have ever thought.

Love your close ones, enjoy your health 🥲💝💚

I adore where we live.

These photos are a snippet of festive randomness.

But the people we’ve met over the years, are BRILLIANT 🥰

Community and love, is how we fight against hate and segregation 💞

We stayed for another Brighton starling murmuration this evening - weather was much nicer.

I could watch them for hours.

I’m not one to buy wrapping paper.
I use old magazines 🎁

Hope our friends don’t mind the choices 😜

I do adore stickers - each one is quite appropriate to each person 💝
